"The Cityzens visit Nottingham Forest in the early game on Matchday 18 and are two points behind the Gunners with a superior goal difference. "We are alive in all competitions," Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta said. "The team are showing great signs of consistency, quality and togetherness. "What we have to do is continue to generate the chances that we do and concede nothing. Do that and trust the players.""
"'They are the best team in the league at the moment, so you have to be good in every minute. You have to stay alive, you have to be alert to what's going on. On the other side, we know that we can hurt teams and that's what we will try to do. We can't go there with the mindset of thinking only about defending.'"
Arsenal sit two points ahead of Manchester City with a superior goal difference, so a home draw or loss to Brighton could hand City top spot. Arsenal display consistency, quality and togetherness while aiming to generate chances and concede nothing. Brighton are winless in four and hope Arsenal energy is lowered after an EFL Cup penalty win over Crystal Palace. Brighton lost 2-0 in the EFL Cup earlier to a largely second-string Arsenal side. Arsenal have doubts over Piero Hincapie and Gabriel Martinelli, while several players carry ankle, knee or hamstring issues. Brighton may have Danny Welbeck and Jan Paul van Hecke available.
